Dear tinkerers,

we did a lot of work on the module drop tables this week to produce a more varied ecosystem.

Durability Enhancer no longer drops as loot

Thank you for letting me collect your player data. This allows me to consult statistics like this one:
Module pick rates in uncommon You can see on first glance, that there's something wrong here, namely that the Durability Enhancer is by far the most picked uncommon module. This led us to a radical decision, but I think it will be great for the ingame economy as a whole: The Durability Enhancer does no longer drop as loot. You can still find it from the "Durability Enhancer" event on the world map and there is a certified one in the upgrade vendor in camp.

WORLD MAP UPDATE

The world map now has an explanation for the icons, and Durability Enhancer, Healing and Charging Stations are marked on the map. Behind a ? are now the Duplication Station, Passthrough Amplifier, Transmogrifier and an all-new "Time-Capsule" event.

NEW TIME CAPSULE ?-EVENT

The Time Capsule will be your only source for getting one of the "busted" modules, which don't drop as rare loot anymore.

• Cracked Duplicator
• Unstable Duplicator (now called "Echo Chamber")
• Echo Chamber (now called "Replicator")
• Generator Factory (this one dropped extremely rarely so you're probably going to see it for the first time now)
• Transmogrifier with Malfunctioning

NEW MODULES:

Clockwork cell got a rework.
